Rocky Horror




So I kept talking about it coming up, and finally it did. It was GREAT. All the actors did an amazing job, and their "Dr. Frank 'n furter" was too good. The HEELS he wore. He even RAN in them.


They had 'phantoms' dancing in the background, or on the sides during the whole thing. It was impossible to see EVERYTHING. So much was going on! The phantoms weren't just there for dancing. They were also human props. (I'm guessing that there was about a dozen of them.) They managed to form a car for Brad, and Janet. (Complete with air freshener, and window wiper), a creaky old door, and various other silly things.


I watched the movie on Wednesday night, and then tonight was the play. I'm going to say flat out that I found the play to be 100% better. I tend to always think that. I think a big part of it is the creativity they have to use in the play. They can't build a different set for each scene. They have to work with what they have. I'm also biased since I've seen around 8 plays there, and I can pick out which actors I've seen, and liked before. (They are all truly talented.)


You could also buy a bag full of goodies to use during the play. (There were certain moments to use a certain thing.) Like when Dr. F was singing "I will make you a man" you could blow bubbles, or throw streamers. We had party blowers, cards, and you even got a feather boa to wear. (Mine was blue! 8D)


I didn't cosplay from the movie, but I did dress up. Everything I was wearing was black, and my shirt had a huge sparkly skull and crossbones on it. (I love me my skulls) My mom sprayed my hair black, and blue. She put some sparkly silver eyeshadow on me, and then poked my eyes out with eyeliner. I also painted my nails black. (They're sloppy, and lumpy. XD FEAR MY AWESOME NAIL PAINTING SKILLS!)


There's so much to say about it. It was just a TON of fun. I want to go again!


It's even hard to pick out a favorite scene. I'm still absorbing it all. I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight!


I think that's all I can manage to talk about for tonight. VKG 3 should be subbed by tomorrow. I need to go wash my hair so I don't stain all the furniture with hair dye.


P.S. Most of those men looked better in fishnets than I ever would. XD
